Although this is a grain-free version of Marie Calendar's Pie, I will not be categorizing it as Paleo, as it's way too sweet. I got loopy just tasting the batter! I made it for my cousin who is transitioning to grain-free and going through with-drawls. Maybe you'll find it fine for your body or for a once in a while festive holiday party... but you have been warned! LOLCrust:4 tbs. Butter, softened2 tbs.

Crust:Make your macadamia flour in a spice grinder.

Add all crust ingredients to a bowl and mix.

I find lining your pan with parchment paper to be invaluable later when serving.

With wet hands, gently press your crust evenly into the pan.Pre-bake at 350 for 10min. or so to firm up before adding the berry mixture.

Filling:Mix all your ingredients except the blueberries.

Fold in your blueberries and then pour onto your pre-baked crust.Bake at 400 for 1 hour or until the middle of the pie is no longer liquid.To avoid burning the edges of your pie, cover with parchment paper and foil for the first 30-40 min

You may choose to have a really deep pie or depending on the size of your pan you may have some left over. Just pour any left-over filling into a casserole and bake along side the pie. It will be done before your pie, so watch it carefully.

Topping:Melt your butter slowly as to not boil or burn it. Add to your topping mixture.

Add to the dry ingredients.Add to the top of the pie when you take the foil off.Bake for the last 10-20min. together.
